A short long holiday to avoid the crowds! Nanjing Garden Expo is perfect!
The second time I came to Nanjing on May Day, I learned from the experience of walking down the mountain from the last time in Zijin Mountain. This time I chose the Garden Expo, where I can walk in the garden and soak in a hot spring. Let's go!
🚗Suzhou➡️Nanjing
About three more hours drive
DAY 1, Hug Paradise + Garden Expo Park to relax
1️⃣ Booked accommodation in the Garden Expo Park can drive into the park, in the park is much more convenient, one day in advance the hotel will contact you and give the park code, at the door for the security to scan the code
2️⃣ The first stop in the park went to the snuggle park, a small unpowered park, large slide and the brave tower (picture 2) are ok, others are around the unpowered facilities, and a small pool, the advantage is not many people suitable for children to discharge
3️⃣ With the children after the battery to take pictures one foot garden for lunch, very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures of a mountaintop cafe, but the car can not drive up, to escalator + walk up the mountain to the observation deck, along the way can be in the garden hea, really big ... May Day crowd just right, can not imagine how deserted usually will be
4️⃣ Take a picture at the Garden, almost to the evening to check into the hotel, booked the Garden Indigo, 💰 900 dollars less than the room rate is quite cheap for May Day.
5️⃣ In the evening, I ate a Vietnamese noodle in the Garden Expo, went to the hotel to swim + soak in the hot spring, I like the design of Indigo, the hotel is ore and mining elements are quite good
DAY2, Yangshan stele
1️⃣ Sleep until you wake up naturally, the hotel breakfast is very rich, ate a brunch, sent a ticket to Yangshan stele and went
2️⃣ The name was misleading, I thought it should be a boring attraction, but I didn't expect it to be quite fun!
3️⃣ Many activities in the park, the entrance will be given out silver tickets, and then do their own tasks in the park to exchange silver tickets, and the park's NPCs are very hard!
4️⃣ The scenic area itself is very good, the hiking road is stone slope, not tired and wild.
5️⃣ Play until two or three in the afternoon to start the return journey, high-speed traffic jam to Changzhou West Taihu Lake circle for lunch
6️⃣ Recommend the Lakeside Chicken Pot in West Taihu Lake! delicious! And it's very comfortable to enjoy the lake view in the evening. It's perfect for lunch to drive back to Suzhou!
Personally, I think the Garden Expo is suitable for taking children to play during the short holiday, mainly because there are few people! But it will not be deserted! The facilities are also very complete! There is also a Ziqing Lake Zoo nearby. If you have free time, it's no problem to play for three days and two nights!
